I have a document like this:

         \index{trees}

As I understand, if you use \index{animals+dogs}, it will place dogs as a sub-category of dogs.

Is there any way to control this centrally, for instance:

\addtosub[animals]{dogs, cats, snails}
\addtosub[plants]{flowers, trees}

Such a way would make it so \index{dogs} places an entry for "dog" under "d" and "animals --> dogs" under "a".
\starttexdefinition protected IndexA#1#2
    \index{#2}
    \doloopoverlist {#1} {
        \index{##1+#2}
    }
\stoptexdefinition

\starttexdefinition tolerant protected IndexB[#1]#:#*#2
    \index{#2}
    \doloopoverlist {#1} {
        \index{##1+#2}
    }
\stoptexdefinition

\starttext
    a\IndexA{animals}{dogs}
    a\IndexA{animals}{cats}
